💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using date() which returns only the date.

Using time() which is not a class method here.

The datetime.datetime() class method now() returns the current local date and time.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using strptime() which parses strings to datetime.

Using non-existent methods like to_string().

The strftime() method formats a datetime object into a string according to the given format.

4fill in blank

Fill both blanks to create a timedelta of 5 days and add it to the current date.

Python

future_date = now + datetime.[1](days=[2])

C10

Ddate

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using date instead of timedelta.

Using wrong number of days like 10.

The timedelta class represents a duration, and you can add it to a datetime object to get a future date.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary with keys as month names and values as the number of days, only for months with more than 30 days.

Python

months = {"January": 31, "February": 28, "April": 30, "May": 31}
long_months = {k: v for k, v in months.items() if v {BLANK_2}} {{BLANK_2}}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '=' instead of ':' in the dictionary comprehension.

Using '<' or '=' instead of '>' in the condition.

This dictionary comprehension keeps months where the number of days is greater than 30, using ':' to separate keys and values.
